We haven't done NDMP with Clariion but we DO use a disk storage unit we
created for backing up one of our Oracle Databases via RMAN and
Netbackup.

 Doesn't look like ndmp is an option without using emc's backup software
and some more of their hardware.

Even though EMC say's not to do this, I may play with mounting disk to
both the original server and the backup server at the same time,  change
the backup policy to not reset archive bit and see if I break something.
I have a spare 500gb fiber attached drive to play with on my master
server,  will attach it to my media server see if I trash the drive with
some sort of script doing continuous file writes while I do a backup.
Worse case is I have to rebuild the drive.

We have a Clariion, but currently do backups via the server that mounts
the LUN.  I've thought about NDMP, but never dug into it.

Which Clariion do you have?  We're running a CX500.  I'm not even sure
if we have NDMP for it, if it's licensed, etc.
